trustfell | everybody, put your hands up; yes, flying

[ You know what this murderschool needs? Party games. She talked about it with Tarrlok during the afterparty and today's the day she's going to host a game of truth or dare. After that unpleasant little motive, she's sure a lot of people are going to appreciate a distraction. She's a little too old for this, but watching each other perform stupid dares should be entertaining.

So during the day, she writes a bunch of notes and slides them under everyone's doors. One also goes up on the fridge. ]

Are you looking for a distraction after yesterday's incentive? Are you just bored?
Come to the dining hall at 6 pm today!
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
- Chie Hori

[ As promised, there's food! The main attraction here is the build-your-own-parfait bar, but there's a nice assortment of other things too - yakitori made by Kyrie, Fern's mac and cheese, Sayaka's curry, plus a tea/coffee bar courtesy of Weiss. There's also a few bottles of booze Chie grabbed from the bar. Drink responsibly, please.

Have fun playing truth or dare, everyone! Remember, you can refuse a truth or a dare if you want to, but then you'll have to drink one of the shots of hot sauce Chie has prepared. Unless you're being asked to reveal what's in your envelope, then you can refuse without punishment. ]

...in fairness, Chie brought it up to me before that whole mess on Tuesday. So.

[...he regrets a lot right now.]

[Well then. For full effect, he'll even do a semi-dramatic cringe.]

Ouch. The timing couldn't be more unfortunate.

[...maybe Jericho was listening in? That wouldn't be a surprise.]

Given that this was the night after the trial and Chie was talking about getting alcohol together for it, I do really have to wonder if we were overheard.

I certainly wouldn't put it past Jericho to do that. The fact that he's planning to reveal our secrets no matter what, as well...

[Ugh. He...so doesn't want to think about this...]

So, Tarrlok. Despite the tackiness, are you up for a round?

I really don't know how he expects to believably reveal them back home, though. What is he going to do, leak it to the press along with the stories about how Amon moonlights as a stand-up comic?

Anyway, I am. Go ahead and dare me whatever you like.

I was wondering about that too, actually. There have been some wild stories about me that have circulated through the tabloids, and this would certainly sound like another of those.

[Though...not entirely the same. It's Complicated.

Who is Amon though. Maybe for another time.]

Oh, so you want a dare, huh? I am happy to oblige. [...] Give me your best dramatic pose. One that you would actually want to see depicted somewhere, though.

[Like...a self-indulgent selfie pose.]

I suppose it's still a bit concerning, but I'm not that worried.

[he is that worried.]

And ah, that's really no problem at all. Give me a second.

[and he just sort of poses like this, because that's the kind of person he is.]

[HE GETS IT...boy does he get it...

But enough about that, self-indulgent poses!!! And Tarrlok delivers on that, dang. Rideaux smiles, pleased with the turnout.]

Excellent work. Truly befitting of a very important and dignified councilman. [Which is apparently what Tarrlok is? He doesn't actually know much about Tarrlok's job, truthfully.] It's a shame that I don't have my phone with me to commemorate it.

Well, of course. Aesthetics are very important, after all.

...

Though, I'm not sure if I've ever heard of a phone that could... take pictures, is it?

[Well, at least Tarrlok knows what phones are. It's a start, and a step above the Rieze Maxians back home.]

Correct. These phones are mobile, and have a camera built into them. The photos are then stored within it.

...that's all amazing, really. I hope my world eventually invents something like that, because it'd probably be very helpful to have all of that compressed into one thing.

Oh, is it ever. I can be absolutely sure that all of my best looks can be chronicled at all times.

[You know, because that's important.]

That definitely is a wonderful feature. I wouldn't even need to hire any photographers...

Actually, if you're looking for press-quality photos, still stick to those hired photographers. Phone cameras aren't terrible, but they're not the highest quality.

[Hired photographers for just everyday portraits though... Sounds pretty awesome.]

Oh, I see. Well, it'd be nice to have it in color, at the very least. That'd definitely leave an impression...

[Oh, dear.]

Obviously? I can't believe you don't even have color yet...

...

It's bound to happen eventually.

everybody, put your hands up; yes, flying – imagine it like that!
